There’re five people at our table, including myself. I’ve already learnt a great deal about them in the short time we’ve been at sea, although we rarely meet except at meal times.

First of all, there’s Dr Stone. He’s a man of about sixty five, with gray hair and a friendly face. He gave up his work a short while ago and is now traveling round the world before he retires to some quiet country village. As a young man, he served for many years as a doctor in the army and visited many countries. He’s told us a lot about the city to which we are going.

Then there’s “Grandmother”. I call her that because her name escapes me. In spite of being a grandmother, she looks rather young, not more than fifty, she’s on her way to visit a daughter who went to Australia some years ago. Naturally she is very excited at the thought of seeing her again, and her three grandchildren, whom she has never seen.

Then there’s a man I don’t care for very much, an engineer by the name of Barlow. He has been on leave in England and is now returning to his work in Singapore.

The other person who sits at our table is Mrs. Hunt. I’ve found out hardly anything about her. She’s extremely quiet and rarely talks, except to consult(咨詢)the doctor about children’s various illness. She’s on her way to join her husband in India.

64. What can we know about Mr. Stone?

A. He is a doctor in the army now.

B. He is going to give up his work.

C. He knows a lot about the city the author is going to.

D. He has been retired for many years.

65. The writer calls the second person “Grandmother” because_______.

A. she looks old                             B. She has three daughters

C. he respects her                                D. he can’t think of her name

66. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Dr Stone lives in a quiet village now.       B. “Grandmother” is an Australian.

C. Barlow works in Singapore                      D. Mrs Hunt is a woman of many words.

 Rules on how to be a fit kid

Being fit is a way of saying a person eats well, gets a lot of physical exercise, and has a healthy weight.   1.  If you’re a kid who wants to be fit, here are three rules to live by.

1. Eat a variety of foods.

    You may have a favorite food, but the best choice is to eat a variety.   2.   Taste new foods and old ones you haven’t tried for a while. Some foods, such as green vegetables, are more pleasing the older you get. Shoot for at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day--two fruits and three vegetables.

2.    3.  

    What does it feel like to be full? When you’re eating, notice how your body feels and when your stomach feels comfortably full. Sometimes, people eat too much because they don’t notice when they need to stop eating.   4.   And over a period of time, overeating can lead to unhealthy weight gain.

3. Limit screen time.

    What’s screen time? It’ s the amount of time you spend watching TV or DVDs, playing video games, and using the computer. The more time you spend on these sitting-down activities, the less time available for active stuff, like basketball, bike riding and swimming.   5.

These rules aren’t magic. However, follow them most of the time and you can become a fit kid sooner or later.

A. Drink water and milk.

B. Listen to your body.

C. Eating too much can make you feel uncomfortable.

D. There’re a lot of discussions these days about fit kids.

E. Try to spend no more than 2 hours a day on screen time.

F. Ask your parents to help you do your favorite activities regularly.

G. If you eat different foods, you’re more likely to get the nutrients your body needs.
